CatChek®: Boosting Mid-Con Production

Project Profile

• Location & Asset: Anadarko Basin (Canadian County, OK) | Woodford Shale & Meramec
• Evaluation Dataset: 51 Treated Wells vs. 414 Untreated Regional Offsets
• Application: Remediation of Water Blocking & Matrix Imbibition
• Key Outcome: +51.7% 12-Month Cumulative BOE Uplift; +71% Same-Pad EUR Uplift

The Challenge High-clay, water-sensitive formations in the Anadarko Basin suffer from severe phase trapping (water blocking), impairing hydrocarbon relative permeability and restricting long-term gas and condensate inflow.

The SciDev Solution Deployed CatChek® MSS to alter matrix surface energy, inducing spontaneous imbibition that draws trapped load water deeper into micro-pores and opens high-permeability pathways for oil and gas recovery.

Results & Operational Value

• Basin-Wide Production Gains: Expanded baseline recovery from 26,898 BOE/1k ft to 40,812 BOE/1k ft (+51.7%) at 12 months.
• Isolated Pad Control: Delivered a +53.8% total BOE uplift and +71% EUR improvement on an isolated same-pad well pair.

Direct Revenue Impact: Generated +$390,000 in monthly incremental revenue per well (at $70/bbl WTI).
